explain why `/var' or `/var/tmp' may needs a lot of disk space, and
tune the description of `/usr' to remove an instance of ``Both of

and unsupported 6.x releases. Tom started this process a while ago
and I'll follow up on that for the latest EoL round.
The old versions can still be found in the doc archives:

more clear that it is *required* for startup scripts. An rc.d script
without a PROVIDE keyword is not run by our rc.subr (it is skipped by
the find_local_scripts_new() shell function of rc.subr).

As Alexander Leidinger has pointed out:
"glibc behaves differently based upon the value of it. It may refuse to
do anything if it doesn't understand the value. Changing the value of
osrelease is only advised in experimental situations (like in
http://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel) and may result even in kernel
panics."
I've replaced a reference to `compat.linux.osrelease' with a safer
example, for setting `security.bsd.see_other_uids=0', which we already
use as a sample /etc/sysctl.conf entry anyway.
* Reword the paragraph before a set of tunables for Linux, as
it wasa bit confusing.
* Correct the name of 'kern.maxfiles' (it was 'kern.maxfile')
before, and reword the text around it to remove the need for
a possessive "'s", which would look funny after 'maxfiles'.
* Finish properly a sentence which was missing a fullstop.

- Mention /boot/loader.conf when we talk about modules;
- The NDIS driver part does not belong to wireless devices section since
it can be used for other Ethernet device, so move that part to its own
section in the network device configuration page. I also updated the
previous text to match 5.5, 6.X and 7.X
Based on docs/84961 (submitted by Fredrik Lindberg
<fli+freebsd@shapeshifter.se>), docs/97229 (submitted by Gavin
Atkinson <gavin@mod3.co.uk>) and many other requests/remarks.
o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.
o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.
o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.
o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.
For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.

"next generation" technology anymore. :)
Update text and examples to match current realities relative
to the local_startup import, and other advances.
Attempt to future-proof the text a little by referring to
dates and releases, rather than (e.g.) "recently."
Add some more man page references.
